I think, if Romney wins, you will see the national committee give Romney the rule he wants so he can choose the delegates himself in 2016 and you can forget about seeing Tea Pary delegates and real conservative delegates. You will see liberal Romney delegates. He will be the dictator of the Republican Party.

This is what I've been saying to people who claim 'we'll hold Romney's feet to the fire' or 'we'll primary Romney from the right in 2016'. I'm very glad to see it stated so eloquently by someone more learned than myself. Well done.

Thanks for the compliment. I spend years upon years in college/university, so I know a lot of useless information.

However, I did instruct in election law to Republican County Chairmen and election judges and clerks and I know the rules the national party must use in the national convention. My mouth actually dropped open what I saw on screen what was happening to destroy the Party by new rules and the votes were illegal by party rules but the national chairman and Boehner were the ones doing it in front of the whole convention body.

It takes pure gall and dishonesty to do that and they didn't care. They had Sununu right there with them doing that illegal work. Delegates asked for a role call vote and party rules say that must be done if requested and they refused to do it - that is illegal - against the rules.

I don't think people understand the Party was ripped from conservatives and Tea Party when this happened.

Eventually, it's going to become clear to others, but you and I and a few others see it now.

Have to tell you, when I saw that, I grieved at the death of any conservative influence in the Party.

Thanks for your post.
